Students who wish to do School of Continuing Studies programs and courses need to have a high level of proficiency in English. When you apply or register, you need to have proof of English proficiency.
As a low-cost alternative to international standardized tests such as the TOEFL or IELTS, the School of Continuing Studies offers the º«¹úÂãÎè SCS TELP (Test of English Language Proficiency). The purpose of the TELP is to determine if a student’s level of proficiency in English is high enough to start a professional program in the School of Continuing Studies programs. It is not recognized for programs in other faculties at º«¹úÂãÎè.
If you would like to take English courses, please go to the English programs page.
You will have to complete most of the test using a computer in a computer lab on the 12th floor of the 688 Sherbrooke West building. You may not use a dictionary or mobile device during the test. Your results will be ready four business days after the test, and can be picked up or mailed to you.
The test requires 3-4 hours and consists of five parts:
- Oral Interview with a º«¹úÂãÎè evaluator

- Written Expression (in a computer lab)
- Grammatical Structures (in a computer lab)
